there is a book on healing the gut that goes into these issues very deeply written by a British MD…animal fats are very important to heal the gut…I’ve been working with this sort of diet experientially for a long time…it’s not safe for some people to not have any animal fats…yeah, it goes against my sensibilities too, but my body speaks loud and clear on the issue…I’ve sobbed many hours at the thought that I cannot stop eating meat…I’d gladly be a vegan if my body could function at all that way.

ghee, clarified butter is actually fine for people…I had a casein withdrawal that really felt like a heroin detox..it totally astonished me…but ghee is butter with all the solids cooked out…so people eat that safely…

if you are interested in the gut connection it’s well worth reading Gut and Psychology Syndrome.

It’s really important to watch what you eat and figure out what is right for your own body. I personally eat plenty of meat, but I have found that drastically limiting sugars has made a huge difference in my state of mind and of course physical health. I’ve read elsewhere about the connection between gluten and mental health. People have to take what they eat seriously.
